Post-match pints

Reliving the game with old Hammers regulars. A late round under the Bobby Moore photos. Chips and a pint after a long matchday. Singing 'Bubbles' one more time.

Heads up: it is a serious West Ham pub. Read the room before raising an away scarf.

Walk Green Street before kick-off. The old Boleyn Ground site is right there, and the streetscape still feels like a matchday from the 90s.

What to order

On the drinks side, a pint of London Pride. Guinness for the heritage. A cold lager after the walk.

From the kitchen, pie and mash from the shops nearby. Chips at the bar.

Who it suits

West Ham fans on a London trip. Away supporters who respect the room. Football history fans. Groups who want a proper East End pub. Anyone curious about the old Upton Park.

The verdict

If you want to understand West Ham beyond the new stadium, the Boleyn is essential.
